Because of _____________, we can conclude that gravity works the same way on Earth as it does on Mars.

B) Einstein's special theory of relativity
C) Sagan's planetary principle
D) the principle of universality
E) the hypothetical statute

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The principle of universality states that the laws of physics apply uniformly throughout the universe, regardless of location or conditions. This means that gravity works the same way on Earth as it does on Mars, making choice D the correct answer. Choice A (Newton's theory of relativity) is incorrect because it deals with the laws of motion and gravity, but does not address the universality of those laws. Choice B (Einstein's special theory of relativity) is also incorrect because it deals with the speed of light and time, rather than gravity. Choice C (Sagan's planetary principle) is an idea put forth by Carl Sagan that suggests the laws of physics on Earth are likely to be similar on other planets, but it is not a scientifically proven concept. Choice E (the hypothetical statute) is not a known scientific principle.
